Why do you think it was canceled!!!


It was a great show, and although alot
of the segments were caused by people being stupid,
I still learned alot...it was what one calls
edutainment---it educates and entertains!!!

Still I wonder why it went off the air...

Perhaps if Bill Shatner could no longer host,
they might have had a new host to step in...

But I don't know if anyone can take over
Bill's place!!

Well let's a least hope it comes on DVD
season sets!!

I think its because Shatner had other plans.

I think because it was a dumb show...period. I mean seriously, how many emergencies on here were normal emergencies like heart attacks that paramedics really do face everyday? Almost every one was something unusual...I mean come on.

A woman comes home one day and finds a stranger in her house and runs out screaming and calls 911. Turns out the stranger was just a dummy her Mom had bought that day.

A little girl puts her leg down the toilet and gets it stuck.

A woman's house catches on fire while she's not at home and she's scared to death for her pet pig inside the house.

Come on now

I remember that rescue-- that to me was so stupid--that was not a rescue!!
It was a practical joke gone bad!!

A little girl puts her leg down the toilet and gets it stuck.

Retarded, no little girl in real life would do that!!

It might have worked if that toilet thing was sent
to be shown on America's Funniest Home Videos--and
as alot may already know-- any video shown with a kid
doing something stupid like screaming, or in this case
getting a foot caught in a toilet, automaticaly wins
as 1st place winner!!!

Just get a new pet pig!!

Or have a pig roast??? My dad's friend's had a Pig Roast
like 10 years ago that I went to--not bad tasting--
tasted like hamburger meat to me!!!

It probably scared some people and induced nighmares.

Then there's the other dumb stories I recall.

Kids are playing hide and seek and one hides in the laundry shoot and gets stuck.

Kids run in front of a lawnmower, the mom doesn't see him and runs over his leg.

Dumb mom isn't watching her baby at the laundromatt and it climbs in the washer and drowns.

I mean do you realize the ignorance of the people above? Retarded would be an understatement. Then there were the tragic episodes where someone actually died. One where a girl got her hair stuck on the bottom of the pool and died. I wonder how many viewers they lost that night.

I heard it was because nobody was submitting situations.

It may have been becuase the 7th season aired on an irregular basis so people didn't know when to tune in, which may have made the ratings suffer.
